Toddle About Circulation...
24,000 copies of Toddle About (8,000 per region) are distributed every January, April, July and October. In addition to this, the magazine (including your advert) is replicated on its own search-optimised page on our website which attracts over 12,000 unique visitors every quarter.
...Readership...
A survey of Toddle About readers in April 2011 showed that each copy of Toddle About is read by just over 2 people on average, meaning your advert could actually be reaching over 60,000 parents, or over 20,000 per region.
The survey also gave us a clear picture of who our readers are - helping you to decide whether or not Toddle About is the right place for you to advertise. See the findings from the Toddle About survey.
...and Distribution
Over 2,200 (and growing) copies of Toddle About are posted directly to our subscribers – find out how this benefits you. The rest are handed out by hospitals, leisure centres, health visitors, community & independent midwives, Sure Start Centres, GP surgeries, nurseries, libraries, preschools, baby & toddler groups, shops, baby & toddler classes and more. Uniquely, we are the only local baby & toddler magazines to be handed out by Mothercare, Early Learning Centre and Registry Offices (participating venues only).
Such distribution guarantees that your advert will reach your target customers and often leads to immediate results – many of our advertisers report that they have had responses the day after the magazine’s release.
